Post Party Kick Off! (aka Moms Gone Wild!)

After Mia's graduation, the moms went out for a nomi-kai or "drinking meeting". Sounded like an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting to me. Actually, we hopped from one restaurant to the next (three total), over the course of the evening.



It was great to spend time and regale each other with our favorite youchien memories.



After the restaurants, we went to do karaoke. At 2am, a few moms needed a cat nap.



Some awesome dance moves on the karaoke floor!



The party went on until 6:30am. One of the moms had just moved out of Tokyo to Chiba and she was catching the first train home at 6:45am. The die-hard moms took her to the station to say goodbye.

Those Japanese moms know how to celebrate!
